NX300 - cannot find original (Samsung) spare battery

Hello everyone,

I had purchased an NX 300 a few years ago, and I've started using it rather intensively lately.

I would like to get a second battery, but cannot seem to find any genuine Samsung ones. ED-BP-1130

I have browsed Amazon and other similar websites, and have found these alternatives, to which I would like some feedback from those who have used them for an extended period:

Chili Power, Patona, MTB, Mitsuru, to quote just a few.

I have also found genuine Samsung ones, but for NX200 :  ED-BP-1030

from what I've seen in the specs the  4 digit number refers to the battery capacity, but there is another difference as well...the NX300 battery is rated at 7,6 volts, whereas the NX200 one at 7,4 volts. I'm unsure whether this can be a nuisance or if the there is any compatibility whatsoever.

Can someone advise me to what should I choose?

Thank you kindly

Samsung NX200 Samsung NX300M

Thanks so much! I had an eye on that one, but was in doubt since it's only 900 mAh capacity.

I ended up ordering a ChiliPower kit from Amazon Germany:

2 batteries 1130 mAh + charger for 20 euros

ordered a third battery for 10 more euros, and the shipping was free.

Hope I've made a good choice, I have seen some decent reviews on Chilipower brand, on this forum.

In the end 3 batteries + charger for 30 euros is a good deal IMO, hope they are as good as advertised. Otherwise, the Watson will be my next choice for sure. Thanks again!
